lua-spore - beginner's question

[P Solver]

Hi,

I'm trying to learn how to use spore with lua.

When I try to run the example, 'GitHub via http' from the website http://fperrad.github.com/lua-Spore/spore.html#examples

I get the following output:

GET http://github.com/api/v2/json/user/show/schacon

404

lua5.1: (error object is not a string)

With spore.debug enabled i get:

GET https://raw.github.com/SPORE/api-description/master/services/github.json

lua5.1: /usr/share/lua/5.1/Spore/Protocols.lua:130: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)

stack traceback:

[C]: in function 'pairs'

/usr/share/lua/5.1/Spore/Protocols.lua:130: in function 'request'

/usr/share/lua/5.1/Spore/Protocols.lua:42: in function 'slurp'

/usr/share/lua/5.1/Spore.lua:246: in function 'new_from_spec'

/.../.../.../.../githubvaihttp.lua:4: in main chunk

[C]: ?

Also, is it possible to use spore with lua5.2?

I created the folder /usr/lib/lua/5.2 and copied all the lua5.1 luarock files, but i still get the following error msg:

lua: error loading module 'mine.core' from file '/usr/lib/lua/5.2/mime/core.so':

/usr/lib/lua/5.2/mime/core.so: undefined symbol: luaL_prepbuffer

Any help will be appreciated.

api v2 is obsolete, the current one is v3.
